I suppose I should add that my vote (if I could make it) in the U.S. election is Bernie Sanders.
That man is probably the only hope for America, save Jesus' return by hook or by crook...

Have a gander at this: Reform party Tory stalwarts are pulling their hair out over what Harper has done to them:
http://www.thetyee.ca/News/2015/07/0...-Power-Harper/
Harper has been hammering us Canadians with his relentless attack ads. He is Hitler incarnate with his vitriol for Mulcair and Trudeau. He is using fear (just like George W. Bush did) to win the election, and he's pretty confident it will work in spades.
I hope Canadians are paying attention...
Debates begin next month. Can't wait. Mulcair will shine. He'll slice & Dice both Steve and Justin. More so Steve...
Harper likes to keep people guessing at all times. But I got his number and I will celebrate when he's defeated. He cannot win in any fashion. Look at his record and look at what he's criminally done in the name of elections (Dean del Mastro & Tar Paby Pierre? Anyone?)
I think Harper is in denial big time here. Woe to the man who tries to run the country all by himself by fiat....
We should have grief counselors on standby. He may become a suicide bomber if we don't. Somebody...anybody..even Tory caucus members....brace yourselves...Harper will lose and you will need trauma units on standby...have blood donors ready...IV drips of Tim Hortons may also be necessary...
Stephen Harper has a very creepy leer these days. He's eerily confident, like Hunter S. Thompson said Bush was when he was running against Al Gore: "The tip off was the old man. The leer on his face was like a wolf with a sheep in its mouth. Its fate was sealed, and so was Al Gore's"
Keep leering Harper. This thread can go on for decades if you want it to. Then I will become more powerful than you can ever imagine. LOL
This is a travesty. An absolute outrage. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Paul Watson has quit the Toronto Star. And I would too.
I'm sick of coward Harper's political interference in the TRUTH!
Get Harper up against the fucking wall! Zap-strap his fuckin' hands! Blindfold the cocksucker and LOAD YOUR RIFLES, MEN!
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/ca...gnation-820147
A little bird has told me to be on the lookout for Harper winning a majority again.
Incredulous, I replied "That's not possible".
The bird replied: "It is possible. Think about who you're talking about. Harper is FrankenNixon, and he has been spending the last 4 years making sure he will be in power forever. Don't be shocked if he wins another Majority. He has found many ways to subvert the electoral process. 2011 was only the start. This year the corruption is unhidden and in-your-face. Brace yourself for another Harper majority, J.".
I've gotten over my shock of the possibility.
Canada's political system is just as fucked up and corrupt as the USA.
Not a shade different.
Harper bought this election, like he bought the last one.
The Fix is IN, THE SUCKFISH SAID.....
Canada is officially in a recession, and Harper is "All about the Economy". Right-O.
We were in a recession 7 years ago weren't we? Wasn't there some kind of "economic crisis" in 2008? I seem to recall that....
That seems vaguely familiar...Harper was PM 7 years ago..and we have Deja-Vu...Who Knew?!?!
If Canadians vote for their Leader based on how well the economy is doing, according to most Tories, then Harper should be fucking fired. SHOULDN'T HE??? He doesn't "manage" the economic situation in Canada. He just fuckin' pitifully REACTS to the news of recession and says his policies have nothing to do with it. How much of fucking DUPES are Canadians? Harper is a fuckin' moron when it comes to managing the economy. Conservatives love to shout "IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!". Yeah, it sure is, Clowns.
And we're in the third recession since Harper took over.
Something is clearly wrong here.
Can you guess what it is?
Can you connect the dots?
Do you have a clue?
There's a rumour that Harper will call the election the first week of August, to change the channel on Nigel Wright's testimony at the Mike Duffy trial. The fix is fucking in, folks. Remember we heard a "rumour" that Harper was gonna call a spring election- in order to avoid Duffy's trial altogether. He must've been told that the prelims of the trial would be no political threat- that the trial only becomes explosive when Nigel testifies, which would not have been for a few months. Harper is the most calculating slimeball we've ever seen in the PMO. He doesn't "Lead". All he does (and ever did) is plan for how he can keep his fat ass in the PMO.
IF Canadians don't know this by now then they deserve Herr Helmet Head as their Fuhrer.
I will always want to rip his throat out with my bare hands.
And I will always tear him a new asshole right here. Bank on it.
Here's something else that really fuckin' bothers me. A few months ago Justin Trudeau was my choice for Prime Minister, based on the fact that the NDP have never held power and no one wanted to give them a chance. Tom Mulcair is CLEARLY, OBVIOUSLY the best choice for Prime Minister, but political realities were hindering his chances. A) Trudeau was in the race. Hard to ignore the significance of his name B) The NDP were considered a fringe socialist party who can't be trusted to Lead- they've never held power. and C) Canadians think Bush was good for the world, so naturally Harper is the choice for PM.
But since the NDP won a Majority in Alberta (an astonishing thing, actually. I'm still kind of in disbelief that that happened) the National stage has shifted in Mulcair's favour, but I suspect it's all smoke and mirrors, all a ploy. If Harper wins another majority government then there's NO DOUBT THAT THE FIX WAS IN. And I'm leaning toward that being the de-facto situation, because what has happened to Trudeau? It's like he's not even visible! Where are his vicious attack ads against Harper? Considering the unbelievably shit-tastic attack ads Harper is using against Justin, he should be annihilating Harper with brutally honest attack ads- no spin would even be required! Just use clips of Harper's own voice and face, like the Tories do to you. Who is in control of the Liberal War Room?
Because from my seat, it looks like Trudeau isn't even in the race. Maybe he's just a Potemkin placeholder, like all of Harper's Ministers. WHERE ARE YOU, JUSTIN? There's an election on, you know...There's a reason why I said you're not ready. You don't seem to know who you're up against. You don't appear to have any fire in your gut to be Prime Minister. What the fuck are you doing? ANd I have to question your judgement in accepting Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair as a new MP. What the flying fuck is that shit all about??? Blair was the man overseeing security at the G20 fiasco in 2010 in Toronto. He's HARPER'S BOY, not yours!!
This election is looking like a disaster.
Harper has demolished the Canadian dollar this week to boost his chances of re-election:
http://www.straight.com/news/491141/...nce-reelection
Alright.
Now I can stop with the "covering all the bases". Harper has not stolen this election, and neither is he going to get a Majority Government again. I can unequivocally say that Tom Mulcair is the best politician on the Hill, and stands poised to become our greatest Prime Minister. I follow this shit closely. Harper is finished, Trudeau has done a free-fall, and Mulcair has shown he knows exactly what he's doing and always did. He played the "long game", (like I did with this thread) and he's a Winner for it.
I spent 4 years here building the case for Harper's annihilation, and if you think it was for nought I got news for you.
The election will be called any day now by Herr Helmet Head and he will get TROUNCED.
This election is the fulfillment of "Le Bon Jack" Layton's legacy. Mulcair did not get in a rut when Jack passed away, on the contrary, his strength of conviction became almost like mercury. He became Leader of the NDP and reached out to his candidates, reached out to his caucus. They responded, they worked hard (VERY hard I may add) to be the best Official Opposition since Diefenbaker.
And now they stand poised to make History.
I hope you're watching Jack!
WE DIDN'T LET ANYONE TELL US IT COULDN'T BE DONE.
Donald Trump is actually amusing me in this U.S. Presidential campaign.
How bad could Trump be as Prez? HE CAN'T BE BOUGHT. By anybody!
That is one "trump" he has that no other candidate has! He can't be controlled! And what worries the "power elites" *snicker, snicker* is that by extension the American people can't be bought or controlled. That scares the living shit out of them. I love that situation.
What do you got to lose by voting for Trump? I mean, cripes, you have a hell of a lot to gain...
I just hope he doesn't drop out. Stay the course Donald! If you drop out you will be VILIFIED!
You will have no credibility whasoever if you drop out. Take on Bush & Clinton. See what happens. It should be Awesome.
Donald Trump is really making some impact down South! Love it.
Harper called the election on a Sunday, Satanist that he is, Sun-worshipping, misguided goof clown that he is, and the Tories will use their huge Blue War Chest to inflict maximum damage to Mulcair. But ORANGE IS THE NEW BLUE in 2015 in Canada...
Hope beats Fear anyday.
The first debate was last night, and I didn't get to watch it- I heard soundbites today from it. First National campaign jitters for Mulcair & Trudeau, but they held their own against HerrHelmetHead, landed some serious blows to his non-Leadership. But no knockouts. No KO-shot from anybody. Harper was wooden, Tory supporters say he was "unflappable", but that's a joke. He just did not want to be there, did not want to be noticed at all. Harpoon was very uncomfortable up there. Not his scene, Yo. LOL
I look forward to the next debates. Mulcair and Trudeau will both be stronger and Harper will again be uncomfortable answering direct questions that require direct answers. This ain't Question Period, HelmetHead! You're finished. Na na na na/Na na na na/Good-Bye!
October 19th is election day. How long is this campaign? The longest in Canadian History. Harper is stalling as much as is possible in his tiny grasp.
Mike Duffy trial re-opens tomorrow, and I'll be there. Nigel Wright will finally drag his sorry ass into court to explain how the fuck he came to write a check to Mike Duffy which was "Good to Go from the PM"- his own e-mail said that.
Speak the Truth Nigel. The WHOLE TRUTH and nothing but the Truth. Many Many Canadians are fuckin' watching, Nigel-Baby!
Canadians may have noticed (if they read this thread) that I haven't commented on Bill C-51 much- the anti-terrorism bill that Harper conjured up after he hid in a closet during an attack on Parliament Hill by a lone nut with a cheap rifle. The reason I haven't commented on it is because I already called what it was gonna do. As soon as that shooter did his thing on the Hill I said right here:
MORE CIVIL LIBERTIES WILL BE ERODED AS A RESULT. HARPER LOVES THIS STUFF.
Yep, he hid in a mop closet to save his own ass, only to pass a Bill that allows the government to spy on you anytime it wants. Yes, Harper has taken away just about ALL of our civil liberties with Bill C-51. It isn't merely a bad bill- it's beyond merely cobbled together. It is an absolute affront to Canadian citizens at large. All from one lone nutjob Muslim.
Bill C-51 is the Canadian equivalent of the Patriot Act passed by George W. Bush after the 9/11 attacks. Dubya started a trend!
Harper said to himself "Dammit, we need one of those!" and he got his wish on October 22nd, 2014.
Canadians should remember that Harper is ready to throw you in jail, not to acknowlege any merits of new anti-terror legislation.
He's not about freedom, democracy or keeping Canadians safe- he proved that one in spades when he leaped into that closet, leaving his whole caucus there to fend for themselves, leaving them knocking over chairs and tables to protect themselves from bullets.
Harper is a COWARD. Do Canadians Vote for a Coward a THIRD TIME? Some will. Some Canadians are Dyed-in-the-Wool
Republican without a single clue.
Rich Oblivious Clown Nigel Wright said on the stand today that he didn't hesitate to cut Duffy the $90,000 check for questionable expenses, as he had covered many expenses out of his own pocket for the Tories.
He also said that Harper had no knowledge of the check being cut- Nigel did it "out of his heart" and to "not have taxpayers on the hook for Duffy's expenses". (????????) He also said it would "not hurt my net worth". How beautifully awesome for you, you ONEX Idiot!
That would be unprecedented in the PMO- to have a sitting legislator have his outrageous expense claims paid back by the PM's Chief-of-Staff, out of pocket, out of consideration for the taxpayer. Right. I believe that as much as I believe Harper loves Justin Trudeau. The optics on this are ridiculously CORRUPT!!!!!!!! Holy Fuckballs, what alternate Universe does Nigel Wright live in?
My Man Charlie Angus was on scene today at the courthouse too- you can't stop Charlie Angus or Johann. We are the Dynamic Duo on taking Harper down. :)
Charlie said "Wait a minute here...the Prime Minister did not know what was going on within his own office? HOW did he not know? WHY didn't he know?"
Is Harper incompetent? Not able to be informed of major political bombshells within his own camp? Nigel was too afraid to tell Steve?
Well, he did say "This is going to end badly" when Duffy balked at the terms for paying back the money, which he felt he didn't have to. Many many e-mails from within the PMO were released today, showing us in real-time how the Tory PMO dealt with a Monster of a political crisis. Wright has backed up Harper's position on the stand- so he'll prolly get a huge bonus for that work.
I don't believe Nigel. I think he's committing perjury, and he should be sitting right beside Duffy on Bribery and Corruption charges. The reason he's not is because the Crown NEEDS HIM to nail Duffy, when in reality BOTH OF THESE FUCKING COCKSUCKERS SHOULD BE CRUCIFIED.
Stephen Harper has fled to the North Pole today, nowhere NEAR this trial. Co-incidence? Nope. He know he's fucked and he's getting his last trip to the Arctic on the taxpayers nickel in before he's turfed. (But I know he'll never go back once he leaves politics. It's ALL POLITICS TO STEVE.) That's why I treat him like my Bitch. Because he is my Bitch.
Remember at the end of Fahrenheit 9/11 when George W. Bush is at a podium, sputtering? "Fool me once....fool me three times....can't get fooled again...."? Remember that? Well the Canadian people should be on guard for thee, because they will be the ones responsible after this election. I will hold my fellow Canadians responsible if Harper wins again. This Duffy trial should bury him like the Sponsorship scandal buried his rival Paul Martin. Remember Martin denied knowing anything about that scandal too?
History repeats itself...
These tons of e-mails that have been released show beyond any doubt that a coverup was afoot. Harper wanted this scandal to be quashed immediately. Forget that the rules of Senate spending were never clear- that just proves that a scandal was waiting to happen. I'm guessing Harper was hoping it would be Mac Harb who would be the poster child for Senate reform. But no, it was a fat fuck of a lobbyist journalist, his OWN PERSONAL APPOINTMENT, his best, most hard-working wonk in the Senate. Right.
Ray Novak knew. He was Nigel's underling. He should be fired. (He is Harper's current Chief-of-Staff). Irving Gerstein knew. Marjory LeBreton knew, Chris Woodcock knew. and about 17 other staffers in the PMO knew too- they were ALL trying to put out this massive political fire. But Harper himself didn't know. He was in the dark. He was deceived by his despicable right-hand-man.
Harper has never told us Canadians whether or not Nigel quit or was fired.
Those e-mails are damning, devastating. Duffy has sung like the fat lady at an Opera. The cloak is off.
Harper's office is corrupt beyond any doubt now.
At first the PMO waited to see "if the story has any legs" ??? When it sure as Senate shit did, they then concocted a story to have Duffy re-pay the money (without his own funds) and admit a "mistake" to the public, on TV, with "Down-Home Duffy- P.E.I.-isms" to smooth over this crime.
But something got Fubar'd in the process. Duffy wrote an e-mail to Ray Novak: "Ray. I'm cooked. It was wrong to wait this thing out. I can't admit wrong doing. The Senate has to meet me halfway".
And here we are. Read those scores of e-mails. You will be shocked at how amateur these clowns are/were.
I thank you again Mike! You have brought down the Tories. And you weren't even elected. You're not my hero, but I thank you.
Harper's FUCKED. He's a liar, he's incompetent, he uses "plausible deniability" to govern, and he's guilty of collusion, corruption and all-around fuckery.
You don't want to be honest with Canadians Steve? Then they will throw you in a Blue Dumpster. It will happen on October 19th.
NDP Leader (and our soon-to-be Prime Minister) Tom Mulcair has written a letter to the RCMP Commissioner Paulson to re-open the investigation into Nigel Wright's involvement in Duffy-Gate. Evidence as facts in court demand it. Nigel has broken Parliamantary law by personally paying Duffy's expenses.
The nut of this whole fucking mess is Harper. He appointed Duffy, he made sure the Senate rules were loosey-goosey, Nigel was HIS Chief-of-Staff. He wears this. Tom Mulcair has said repeatedly: "Mr. Harper has been telling us one thing and it's opposite since this scandal broke. It's abundantly clear that both can't be true. HARPER is the one on trial here".
What an UGLY scene in the PMO this is. Ray Novak STILL denies any involvement when those e-mails prove he's lying. Marjory LeBreton used to RUN to cameras to speak, all the fuckin' time. Now she flees Tory scrums. That wrinkled old fuckin' raisin of a hag wrote to Nigel Wright in an e-mail in the middle of the coverup: "What a lovely day! I got to work in my garden today!"
???
A horrific scandal is engulfing your pathetic corrupt party and you're distracted with your garden. Right.
Nigel and Andrew MacDougall were celebrating, (laughing no less!) when Duffy was reading their scripted lines on P.E.I. TV:
"THIS IS WAY FUN!"- MacDougall
"SWEET!"- Nigel Wright.
This shit is astounding. If your intelligence isn't insulted by these morons, then you have no intelligence.
This is so fucking revolting, this whole scandal. Harper is on the campaign trail being bombarded with questions about what he knew and why Ray Novak isn't fired and he says in response to every question: "I DON'T ACCEPT THE PREMISE OF YOUR QUESTION".
He is Evasive to the Millionth power.
Hey Steve: I don't accept the premise of your corrupt, contemptuous, ignorant, lying-ass existence.
I say again: Get the Fuck out of my Government. I never voted for you and I'm full of Rage that my fellow Canadians were duped into believing you had something to offer this country. You don't. You are the LEAST Canadian person I've ever seen. (And I've seen scads). You should see the footage of Harper in 2004 when he was in Opposition, hurling thunderbolts at Paul Martin over how the buck stops with the Prime Minister. What a fuckin' hypocrite Idiot. His own words haunt him today. ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO BOOT. The timing couldn't be better...
The fact that the PMO tried to interfere with the outcome of an internal Senate audit is further proof of full-blown corruption and absolutely shocking. Part of the deal was taking Duffy's name off the audit/ Nigel Wright e-mail Marjory LeBreton: "STACK THE SENATE WITH CONSERVATIVES! We can fudge the facts when we own the chamber".
The RCMP should be swarming on this gang of fuckheads.
The Reckoning will happen in about 7 weeks. Seeing Tory supporters losing their minds at Harper's speaking events when he's asked pointed questions is proof that they know their goose is cooked. The worry in Conservative callers' voices on talk radio here in Ottawa is what's truly "SWEET"
Bringing Harper down? "YAY, THIS IS FUN!"- Hey Andrew: THAT is sarcasm, Shitstain! Hit the bricks. Your party is a Joke and is currently engulfed in flames.
Somebody in the government must be reading my posts. I went to Landsdown Park yesterday and I noticed that the monument (BIRDBATH) that was placed in front of the Aberdeen Pavilion to honor my Regiment (PPCLI) now has a 6-foot black marble base. They put the "birdbath" on top of that, to make it seem more like a monument. It still looks ugly, it's still not a worthy "monument" to the first Regiment sent from Canada to WW1, but I'm glad they did something. Glad somebody was embarassed. What a joke that "monument" is. Communism Victims get acres and millions of taxpayers dollars. My Regiment couldn't get a set of stamps made to honor their 100th anniversary. Or a Coin from the Mint. Harper is Anti-Military.
The "slow drip" of the Duffy scandal is slowly destroying Harper's chances of winning. He's painted himself into a corner, and it's glorious. That's what happens Steve when you take your "power" for granted. This man has made himself Hated.
And he has the balls to say on the campaign trail "Elections aren't a popularity contest". ??? Um, yes they are...Wow. How out of touch is this guy?
Harper's also taking credit for breaking the Duffy story! When it was Bob Fife of CTV NEWS!!!!
Harper's actually telling the public on the campaign trail that when he learned that Nigel paid Duffy's expenses he "took action" and made the news public. What a fuckin' HOWLER of a lie.
Canadians must love liars who are keen to go to war and make money for their friends. So most Canadians would vote for a Bush.
As Ice Cube rapped: A Bird in the Hand/Is Worth More Than a Bush
A heartfelt note to FilmLeaf readers: my writing on movies has all but disappeared due to my obsession with getting rid of Harper.
It doesn't "consume" me, but it's pretty damn close to that.
My pledge is to go SuperNova on movies when Harper is turfed. This website is about FILMS, not stupid corrupt politics.
But this guy Harper is such a fucking cancer and needs to be exposed for what he is so fuckin' badly that I am committed to bringing him down. No movies, no fun in Mudville until this absolute Asshole Turd is run out of Ottawa on a rail.
I apologize. I've written close to a thousand posts on Harper when that time could've been spent on films. We all lose with Harper.
Another Great Canadian has joined the Anti-Harper Team: Donald Sutherland.
I meant to post about him last week. Donald is suing the Harper government. He is not allowed to vote because he lives outside Canada and has for more than 5 years. I'll post his letter here. A Legend, an Order of Canada recipient cannot Vote in this election. Wow.
The Conservative party's lawyer Benjamin Perrin testified yesterday at the Duffy trial, and he kindly told us that Ray Novak was in on all the negotiations with Nigel and PMO staffers. So that 100% contradicts what Harper is telling Canadians on the campaign trail.
And guess what?
Ray Novak has kinda disappeared on the campaign trail...no nametag, no meetings with the press, co-ordinated rushes to get on the Tories' bus without reporters hounding him, etc etc etc.
Ray Novak has become an albatross around Harper's neck. But just like he did with Nigel Wright he says Novak has his "full confidence".
Let's see if Harper fires Novak.
The optics will kill his chances of re-election if Novak stays by his side.
I'm just itching to see Novak shitcanned. This is so delicious...The longer Harper lies in the face of his own lawyer's contradictions in court, the longer and harder the fall will be. Harper got snippy with reporters yesterday. He snapped "If people work for me then they have my confidence!!!!The two people involved in this scandal are being dealt with in the courts!!!"
The two people involved? Steve? You mean the 22 people involved. And of course, yourself.
Here is Donald Sutherland's letter:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe...rticle25731634
Conservatives are so far gone it's ridonkulous.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson reached out to all Federal election candidates in the Ottawa region. The NDP met with him. The Liberals met with him. The Tories didn't even show up at City Hall. The Mayor was sitting in his office for an hour, waiting for Pierre Poilivere or any of the 9 Tory candidates to discuss the Capital's municipal needs. Mayor Watson took to Twitter to express his disappointment.
Guess what happened?
Within 20 minutes Pierre was on the phone with Jim, saying the scheduling was "misunderstood". Right.
Social media is a fuckin' powerful force, Yo.
Pierre was scrambling to not look like the Tar Baby fool he is. Are you aware there is an election on Tories? You must. Or maybe not- you losers don't even tell the Prime Minister when scandals are unfolding...LOL R.I.P Conservatives....you won't be missed....
Are Canadians aware that Harper banned his cabinet ministers from speaking to reporters after cabinet meetings?
Never forget this priceless nugget of information: DO NOT TRUST HARPER.
EVER.
The Mike Duffy trial is adjourned until November, and Harper's spirits are way up because of it- he launched into a tirade yesterday about his pet project that has no action: "The Economy".
The Duffy trial exposed some seriously damaging revelations about how harper operates his office. Aides and Underlings have more power than he does. So much so, they are allowed to withold serious information from him. Harper even said this week that Nigel Wright "was the Boss". So Harper is definitely, positively a DICTATOR. Yay. I hope Conservatives are proud.
Chris Woodcock was grilled this week and he said the same thing Ray Novak's saying: that he never read e-mails from Nigel Wright. E-Mails that say things like: "For you only: I am personally paying back Duffy's expenses. On Monday".
These perjuring assholes expect us to believe that they don't read e-mails on important scandals and the damage-control mechanisms that are in play. Right.
I simply can't wait to see the results of this election. The results will shock everybody I think, no matter which way the corruption blows...
Conservative Voters in Canada seem to want to look the other way about this Duffy scandal. (When Conservative people paint themselves as Ultimate Paragons of Virtue). Right.
Chantal Hebert, Canada's foremost political commentator said today in a Metro article:
The last thread of Harper's version of events is now so frayed, it speaks to his lack of an alternative explanation that he is still hanging on for dear life. If voters are content to look the other way, how can they expect future governments to think twice about fooling Canadians into believing whatever best suits their partisan purpose?
AMEN CHANTAL.
If Tory supporters turn a blind eye to this severe lack of ethics and integrity, then they are just as culpable as Harper is in all of this corruption. If what Harper's PMO did was a LIBERAL government, Mountains would be crumbling into the sea, the Earth would be split in two with their incandescent rage.
Somehow the people who see through all of Harper's corruption (Me, Chantal Hebert) are not allowed to be righteously indignant or full of anger. We have to accept this scandal as "A Nothing", as "A tempest in a teacup", a "Bump on the road". Right.
Alberta wasn't about to let Tories get away with it one more time. Will the rest of Canada? Here's hoping.
I would amend what Tom Mulcair said. Harper is not the only one on trial. It's the CONSERVATIVE VOTERS.
Stephen Harper had elephant balls yesterday. He had the audacity to make fun of Trudeau's realistic claim that he would probably run a deficit for the first two years, maybe even three. Harper mocked him to no end, laughing like Satan about it.
WHEN HARPER HAS RUN 7 STRAIGHT YEARLY DEFICITS!!!!
Averaging $20 Billion each!!!!!!!
It's pretty fuckin' RICH to mock Trudeau when he's run up monstrous deficits with no intention of paying them down.
Harper has downloaded all of that debt onto future generations. Be Proud, Tories. Proud and Loud about your pathetic "economic management skllls".
Fuck I can't wait for this election to be over. What surprises and rabbits will Harper pull out as it gets closer to October 19th?
Tory MP Michelle Rempel thinks she "dances to her own tune" while in Harper's camp. Don't stop believin', Michelle....LOL
http://ottawacitizen.com/news/politi...rview-requests
So it's over one month since the election was called, and Stephen Harper just can't catch a break. (Do we weep for him? Hell No.)
The first month had this on offer for Steve to contend with:
- The Mike Duffy disaster trial. Nigel Wright lied on the stand in my view. He pushed "plausible" to unheard-of heights. He even quoted scripture to defend his actions. Amazing. Hey Nigel: did you ever read that part of the Bible that says "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God"?
- Statscan announced that Canada was in a recession in the first quarter of the year and we are de-facto in one now.
- Disgraced Conservative Senator Pamela Wallin had her expense claims referred to the Crown for possible criminal charges
- The Syrian refugee crisis shows how heartless Harper is, and it may be the emotional straw that breaks his re-election back. I thought it would be Duffy, but no, it's a 3-year old child face-down on a beach that forced Harper to act. His Immigration Minister did a face-plant on "Power and Politics" last week. Chris Alexander blamed the media for the situation. But Rosemary Barton exposed him for the boneheaded, callous unqualified ignoramus he is. Watch that video of Chris Alexander on Power and Politics. If that doesn't demand his resignation, then what the hell would? Harper has only agreed to accepting 10,000 refugees. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair is committed to 46,000! Over three years! Trudeau is trying to out-do him by demanding that 25,000 are accepted by Christmas- somewhat unrealistic, but at least he is agreeing to more than Harper is offering to take in. Harper has been harping about the military role only. Where is his fucking humanity? He faked crying on TV at that poor child in the surf, saying it reminded him of his son Ben. ??? Tory supporters have been ripping the opposition parties for "making political hay" out of this refugee crisis, when Harper is the Mega-poster-child for scoring cheap political points.
Nothing has gone right for Tories in this election so far. They are third in the polls, but I don't pay any attention to polls.
It's looking good for an NDP Government to show Canada what they are made of on October 19th.
If you're a Tory strategist, you must be popping the aspirins...
Because right now, The Conservative party is in flames. And those flames lick the walls of Harper's gulag about 50 feet up in the air.
Trudeau has brought out the Big Guns. Now you know the election has kicked into gear...ha ha
Former Prime Ministers' Jean Chretien and Paul Martin have backed their man, giving powerful speeches at Liberal rallies.
Chretien said that when he travels people always come up to him and ask him "What happened to Canada?"
Sadly, Stephen Harper is what happened to Canada.
Debate Number 2 is this week, a debate exclusively on the economy. Trudeau should do well, with Paul Martin coaching him.
Even though I'm firmly in the NDP camp, I have no problem with Trudeau winning. That may seem like a flip-flop as I've said previously that he wasn't ready to be Prime Minister. Maybe he isn't, but Harper was never ready. Still isn't. The most unqualified PM we've ever had. It blows my mind that people think he's the cats pajamas. It's revolting that this guy is considered a "leader".
Trudeau may be green, but he's a contender in this election, like it or not.
Mulcair is really strong right now, and the NDP orange wave shows no signs of lagging. One month to History being made.
Stephen Harper's War Room Commander Jenni Byrne has been attacked for incompetence and demanded to be fired- by Conservative party wonks!!!! What did Harper do about it? Well, we don't really know. There's a rumour she was kicked off Harper's plane and sent back to Ottawa to find some brains and willpower to do something about this refugee crisis before it buries Steve in his own cold-hearted porridge.
Face it Tories...there's no salvaging anything in your campaign. Canadians aren't dummies. They know it's time for change.
Harper has apparently turned to an Australian advisor who helped lame-duck British PM David Cameron win recently.
Do whatcha gotta do Steve! Your ship is a little leaky buddy...lol
Mulcair's ads where he emphatically says "I'm Ready." are brilliant. Harper is actually sending Tory supporters to Mulcair in droves, all because he destroyed Conservatism by not practising it. (Let us weep, My Brethren...lol)
Trudeau is punching above his weight, and some say that the left is split 50/50. So what? They will SHARE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS!
Sanity and BALANCE will be restored. Insane scandals will not flow like lava anymore. Tory supporters are bipping about how the sky will fall if the NDP or Liberals win. Right-O. Gotcha. That's all they can come up with when Harper's campaign has hit the skids & run off the rails? Wowza. These Tories are saying that "Harper will come on strong in the final month". Huh? Wha...?
Why hasn't he come on strong since August 2nd?
Where the fuck has his head been, on this leaden inert campaign he's lurching forward on?
The guy has got concrete shoes on, carping about how "Canadians want more of the Same".
Who can resist such Visionary goals and boring Chutzpah? LOL
Lockheed Martin won't help Harper this time around. The contract for the F-35 is hung, and the NDP will destroy it.
Harper had some USA help last time. This time THE PEOPLE will outweigh the corruption. Canadians have woken up.
I can't wait to get back to reviewing movies. I got some recently bought Criterion DVD's that need reviews: Eraserhead, Valerie and her Week of Wonders, Kubrick's The Killing, Sweet Movie and By Brakhage.
Harper is "excited" by his 2 billion dollar budget surplus. Right.
There is nothing to get excited about. Jim "The Fleecer" Flaherty made sure that budget surplus would be there for Harper to play as a card in the 2015 election. Yep, Flaherty planted that nugget over 2 years ago, ready-to-use in a pinch. And remember, the "surplus" is a BUDGET surplus, and it has no significnace whatsoever. Here's a blistering letter to the editor from today's Globe and Mail:
A $2-billion surplus does not matter. But what does matter is the more than $100-billion in new debt that the Conservatives have run up over the past six years. The principal alone would require 50 such surpluses to repay. And given that the Conservatives run a surplus once every seven years, it will take 350 years to recover from their fiscal mismanagement.- Thor Kuhlmann, Vancouver
So take that to the bank, Tory supporters. Harper is not "strong on the economy". He's an Oblivious Fucktard Criminal.
I listened to the economic debate last night, and it was Cracklin'.
Even tho I have an obvious anti-Harper bias, no one won that debate. If anyone did, it was Thomas Mulcair. No KO shots. But some haymakers were thrown, Boy.
Tom Mulcair unleashed the heavy early, with his withering rubuke: Mr. Harper put all of his eggs in one basket. Then he dropped the basket. Boo-Yah.
Mulcair stung Trudeau on tax havens at one point: "Why don't you tell Canadians about your shell game for your speaking fees?"
Trudeau snapped that Mulcair "always has to make everything political".
Tom also made a slogan-in-the-making with his "Mr. Harper's policies on Canada's resources is Rip-and-Ship".
He also double bitch-slapped Trudeau & Harper in one swipe: Mr. Harper wants to hit the snooze button on the economy and Mr. Trudeau wants to hit the panic button".
I guess some KO's landed, now that I think about it. (but Harper didn't get back up, a la Tubthumping) These three guys were talking over each other, and Harper sounded positively scared and confused up there. Awesome debate to listen to. I'll watch it later today to confirm my ears' impressions.
If your mind isn't made up by now on who you want, Canada, then let me decide for you: A.B.C.: Anyone But Conservatives.
OK...I've seen the bulk of the debate live now, and it's quite clear that Mulcair won. He was Prime Ministerial up there.
Harper was wooden as always, smirking and sneering at his opponents, intoning "You would vote for these two jokers?"
Trudeau hit Harper in the breadbasket: "The only years you've not run budget deficits are ELECTION years..."
Justin was emotional, excited, animated and all three men have fast minds. I have to admit, Harper, Mulcair and Trudeau all have great minds for pulling their facts out. Too bad Harper's facts were largely UN-factual...Tom & Justin cut in on Harper to say "That's not true, Mr. Harper..." about a dozen times. It wasn't so much a "focused" debate as it was hyped up to be. Bill C-51 came up- as the last vote Trudeau cast in the House of Commons! And we also learned from Tom Mulcair that Trudeau's first-ever vote in the House was for one of Harper's budgets!!! I never knew that. That would be enough to sway my vote to the NDP if I was undecided...Syrian Refugees also came up. As well as Tommy Douglas and Jack Layton.
It's up to you, Canada. More of the same with a lying, thieving, dishonest snake of a failure in Harper, OR Glory.
Don't let them tell you it can't be done!
:)
So a bogus 2-billion dollar surplus and WAYNE GRETZKY are Harper's "surprises" and "rabbits" in this election.
Who can be against The Great One?
Johann can be against the Pete Rose of hockey, that's who.
Wayne can't even vote in Canada- he lives in Arizona year-round. Harper's own law prevents Wayne-er from voting, and Harper spoke for Wayne by saying that Wayne has never opposed that law. Why would he? It doesn't matter to Wayne- he's a Corporation HIMSELF!!!
Harper makes Wayne richer every day.
Wayne is a traitor to Canada. Ever since that trade to the L.A. Kings in 1988 he's been a traitor. (And remember it was WAYNE'S CHOICE to go to L.A., not Peter Pocklington's!!)
I think Wayne's been to Canada all of 9 times in 25 years. And it was only to open a Gretzky's restaurant in Toronto (which he doesn't even own anymore- WTF is that about?) and have a street named after him in Edmonton.
Wayne Gretzky is about as Canadian as Donald Trump. Word.
Sorry hockey fans, but Gretzky sucks huge. Always did. When I think of Wayne Gretzky all I can think of is that McDonald's commericial he did years ago where he's holding the "Crispy Chicken Deluxe" sandwich like it's money in the bank. Because it was.
Bet on any NHL games recently, Wayne?
You're gonna lose on your bet on Harper.
BELIEVE IT, Mr. PHOENIX!
Stephen Harper told Peter Mansbridge in an interview that he would quit as Prime Minister if the Conservatives lose a single seat in this election.
So Victory can be declared already!!!
Thanks Steve! You're gonna lose a hell of a lot more than one seat, Paco.
You will be beat like a fucking GONG. I think you're DEEP in denial, Pal.
Gonna be so sweet to see you take that "walk in the snow" in 4 weeks.
What will be even better is listening to CFRA radio in Ottawa afterwards. That station is an unofficial arm of the Tory election machine, and the hosts have been popping pimples over Harper's disastrous campaign. They are beside themselves that Mulcair is striding large to a large Victory. The teeth-gnashing and hand-wringing is beautiful to listen to. Because these Tory supporters have never heard of my thread here. I am a "Babe in the Woods" with my commentary, a secret stealthy weapon. LOL
If I convinced ONE PERSON to vote against Harper, then it was worth every minute typing.
So guess what happens after October 19th, Tories?
I shed my role as indignant ranter and hand that job over to YOU.
Have fun. I hope you have the stamina and POWER to write for 4 years (minimum) to bring down the new PM, whoever he may be.
3 weeks to No More Harper.
Two thirds of voters in this country want change. And we will get it.
Lots of Bullshit "scuttlebutt" floating around about how Harper is gaining ground over this niqab debate.
What a crock of horseshit. Harper is finished, and there's no debate about it.
2 women in the whole fuckin' country are upset about not being able to cover their faces during a swearing-in ceremony to become a Canadian citizen, and Tory pundits are saying that this issue is costing Tom Mulcair seats in Quebec.
? Huh? Wha..?
First of all, Mulcair doesn't have to worry about a damn thing in Quebec- he's got it sewed-up like the best seamstress on Earth.
Harper has got his "wedge issue" and it means jack and shit. Because for starters, I happen to believe that the 2 women involved are plants. I mean, how the hell can they challenge the law all the way to the Supreme Court when they've just landed? They aren't even citizens yet and they are challenging the niqab ruling. I smell a rat. I smell a plant, full-stop. Who is funding these 2 "women"?
Legal bills aren't cheap!
The niqab is also a garment that is considered " a fad" by muslims themsleves.
I don't care if you want to hide your face during a citizenship ceremony- you've already been vetted, right?
Wear a mask and tassles if you want. LOL
Canada does not discriminate. But Harper's government does.
Do the math.
I'm tired of holding your hand.
VOTE on October 19th.
2 weeks to election day and I have a lot to bitch about.
Harper is raving about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and it's no secret why. The TPP hands over all control to corporations. Governments are obsolete now. Corporations can now sue you over trade. (sue the federal government). And the best part of the whole thing is that this "Biggest trade deal in world history" was concocted by nameless and faceless un-elected, un-accountable shitstains who don't hide their hidden hand anymore. The New World Order is here, and it's always been here. The back of U.S. bills have "announcing the new world order" written right on them! Don't be shocked that corporations run the show...you let it happen, people! The next "logical" step is One World Government, right? As Sarah Palin said: "You Betcha".
2 weeks before the election ends and the "deal" is signed. Right.
The niqab issue has apparently duped enough Canadians into believing that Tom Mulcair can't be trusted- it's astounding.
That Aussie advisor Harper hired did the dirty on Tom Mulcair, and now all I hear is how "strategic voting" is all the rage now.
Funny, same thing happened in the Ontario and Alberta provincial elections.....funny how that always happens when election day swoops closer....
At this point I don't know what the fuck will happen in 2 weeks. And I follow Canuck politics REAL CLOSE.
Brace yourself- shit's going down.
As this thread winds down and the election draws near I'd like to say that I was inspired by three things to start this thread.
1. Jack Layton
2. Pure, Undistilled Hatred for Stephen Harper
3. Hunter S. Thompson
Jack Layton was the amazing NDP Leader who said Hope is better than Despair on his deathbed in an open letter to Canadians.
Stephen Harper is nothing but a scourge and parasite.
Hunter S. Thompson is the man who showed me how to handle scum like Harper.
Well Jack, we made a great showing, but Canadians got scared and liked Trudeau's youth too much. So be it.
Well Harper, how does it feel to lose to your mortal enemy, in name and in party?
Well Hunter, We Killed Like Champions. Ha Ha Ho Ho. Lock this thread. Throw away the key.
